Real Madrid have dropped Manchester United bound James Rodriquez from their squad to face Celta Vigo today.The Spanish giants reportedly named their price for star
midfielder James Rodriguez, with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United
told to pay €75 million (roughly £64 million) for his services. According to a
report from Colombia, the move could be announced as early as Sunday.

Marca's Jose Felix Diaz reported United lead the race to
sign the Colombian, but the new Premier League champions can't be counted out
just yet.

Per Marca, the 25-year-old has been linked with a move away
from the Spanish capital for some time. He took his time leaving the pitch in
the 4-1 La Liga win against Sevilla at the weekend, a sign many interpreted as
him saying goodbye to the Madrid crowd.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup hero has struggled with Los Blancos
since his impressive debut season and has been a fringe contributor this
campaign. He remains supremely talented but desperately needs a fresh start.

Here's a look at some of his highlights from the past
season:

According to Radio Caracol (h/t AS' Carlos Forjanes), Los
Blancos could announce his move to Old Trafford on Sunday, after the conclusion
of the La Liga season.

Madrid's exclusion of James from their squad has fuelled the speculation even more.
